I think the bigger question is, what was the Kraft ingredients list back before Annie's existed? They've made a number of recipe changes over the past three decades that probably only happened because of the 'healthier' competition.
(Here's one, for example: https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/08/news/companies/kraft-mac-and-cheese-recipe/index.html https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/08/news/companies/kraft-mac-an...)
- jfengel 6y agoOh yeah. I'd heard about that just the other day. Neat. I had spoken to some flavor manufacturers about a decade ago, and they say that the shift to "natural" flavors had been in the works for some time. Only very bottom-of-the-line products were still using artificial flavors. (They're very down on this since they don't think it makes any difference aside from costing more, and they're probably right. But consumers seem to like it better.) It bothers me that consumers like making changes that don't really matter, but don't want to make hard changes that do matter (like the fact that neither one of these products contains a significant amount of nutritive value other than calories). That would mean eating a lot less macaroni and cheese.
